My husband and I had a great cruise meeting many wonderful people from all over the US, Canada and Europe. The Miracle is an older ship and has a few rough spots but looked clean and neat all over the ship. Our cabin (7202) boasts an extended balcony which was lovely but due to the location, blocked a bit of the view looking forward. Our steward, (Barwana) was attentive and excellent. With 10 sea days in total, we took part in all the on board activities. We found the entertainment crew bored when presenting trivia and arts and crafts. None of the staff appeared to ever see, let alone complete any of the craft projects. Luckily, there were several passengers who helped the rest of us. Several years ago, Carnival gave several women free cruises on the Magic but they had to present and teach the crafts during sea days. That was a wonderful experience!

The casino staff were some of the best I have ever seen: fast, friendly and funny. I enjoyed myself even while losing money. The big entertainment programs were good, as usual. The Steakhouse was excellent from soup to nuts with great service and a wonderful view. At the spa, Mexime provided a great scrub, facial and massage. One of the best I ever had. Finally, the food was fine. We enjoyed the deli and the Bacchus dining room. Our service team with Wayan and Erick were very efficient. We had our wine and other drinks there when we arrived each day. On the other hand, the 2.0 ships just have more and better choices but the staff on Miracle were great!
